  1. Walden University vs Wilkes University PMHNP

    SubSippi replied to psychgirl1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    SubSippi replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    SubSippi posted a topic in General Nursing

  7. Advice on dealing with confused patients

    SubSippi posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SubSippi replied to Reeses30135's topic in General Nursing

  14. Inserting an NG tube post arrest

    SubSippi replied to abidingpanda's topic in General Nursing

    Twist the tube between your fingers a little bit the whole way down, not just when you're trying to get over the hump. It'll help the tube glide down past the tongue instead of getting caught in the...

    SubSippi replied to Rew3n's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  16. How far would u go for an interview

    SubSippi replied to pingpong101's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    SubSippi replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    In my unit we all fight over nights. It's much calmer most of the time...not to mention without night differential, we pretty much get paid a teacher's salary. And we don't get holidays and the whole...

    SubSippi replied to NYtrauma's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For the record, I have an all black Littmann cardiology III and nobody has stolen it in the three years I've been a nurse. But no, nobody will care about the color of your stethoscope. When I see a...

  21. Medication Error: I feel stupid

    SubSippi replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like your patient was finally able to get some good sleep. Her heart rate probably didn't drop like that the previous nights because she was tossing and turning. I would expect a drop...
